2024 Party Primary filing to begin
The 2024 national elections are already looming large, but state and county election filing also begins Nov. 11 and will run one month.
Party primary elections will take place in March 2024 and those winners will then face the November general election.
Montague County Elections Administrator Ginger Wall said the following county positions will be up for election in 2024: 97th District Judge and District Attorney, county attorney, sheriff, precincts one and three county commissioners, precincts one and two constables, county tax assessor and Democratic Party chair.
Mark Neese is chairman of the county Republican Party and there is no organized Democratic Party with a chairman. Those wishing to run in the Republican primaries file with Neese and those wishing to run as Democrats file with the state party.
Neese said there are plans for a “Meet and Greet” during the county party’s regular monthly meeting on Nov. 16. He said a notary will be on hand if someone would like to formally file with the party chair at that time. It will be 6:30-7:30 p.m. on Nov. 16 in the courthouse annex.
Neese may be contacted at 817-713-5773.
The Bowie City Council will meet at 6 p.m. on May 12 in the council chambers.
The agenda opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
In the city manager’s report, Bert Cunningham will discuss the Rock and Pillar Street project and the Texas Water Development Board grant application.
In new business, Brittany Barnes will be considered as an appointment to the Bowie Community Development Board.
A resolution requesting financial assistance from the TWDB authorizing the filing of an application for assistance will be reviewed.
The master parks plan also will be presented by staff from Public Management.
The consent agenda and public comments round out the meeting.
Members of the Montague County Commissioner’s Court will meet at 9 a.m. on May 11.
After the consent agenda and public comments, the court will discuss an interlocal agreement between precinct two and the Bowie Sports Association for the baseball complex.
Precinct three will ask for a line-time budget adjustment of $15,000 from operating expenses to part-time.
The court will open and consider accepting sealed bids for emulsified asphalt and prime oil, all on a 90-day contract.
The consent agenda of minutes, bills and reports also is slated.
A 44-year-old Bowie man was arrested Monday morning at the lake next to Bowie High School after he was acting suspiciously and ran from police.
At 7:28 a.m. May 4 Lt. Bob Blackburn saw a man trespassing at the school lake. Nearby there was a vehicle parked on the service road belonging to the suspect, Zane Huntley. The license plate on the vehicle had been concealed using tape.
“My immediate first thought was someone was here to hurt my kids. Covering up your plates is something criminals do,” said the officer.
